Guidekin's take

A river day away from the El Yunque crowds: swimming through caves, standing under waterfalls and optional cliff jumps, with transport from San Juan, life vests and water included.

It asks for reasonable mobility and there is a night time cave option. 4.95 from 2,555 reviews for 5h at €104 per person.

Best for: Cave and Waterfall Exploration at €104 per person for 5h: cave swims, waterfalls, van from San Juan; two to book. 4.95 from 2,555 reviews. ATV, Zipline & Caving Adventures comparison

Trade-off: Two to book; lunch not included; mobility needed.

In our comparison: #6 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
